While on his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Lawrence Taylor redefined outside linebacker. A first-round pick (No. 2 overall) by the Giants in 1981, LT played in 10 Pro Bowls, was NFL defensive player of the year three times and made the NFL's 75th Anniversary team. He had 132.5 sacks, forced 33 fumbles and intercepted nine passes. (Durham Herald-Sun)
